Lexicon Valley Has Moved!

If you’re looking for Lexicon Valley, we have a new home! No worries, we’re just a click away at BooksmartStudios.com, where you can sign up to become either a free or a premium subscriber.

Also, for the first time in a long time, our entire archive of past shows is in one place and free for all. That includes all of the John McWhorter episodes — from his discussion with editors of Tablet Magazine about whether there is a Jewish way of talking to his full-throated defense of the singular they.

It also includes all of the Mike Vuolo and Bob Garfield episodes — from the much-maligned phenomenon of vocal fry to the fuzzy but fascinating origins of the word dude to everything you never knew about 2025’s ubiquitous 67 meme.

Plus a brand new show every Tuesday — come check us out at BooksmartStudios.com!

Happy listening,

The Lexicon Valley team
